they wouldn't be supporting anything... If they flex only 1/4" then the hull will be distorted enough to be damaged

The trailer looks like it is for a 17 or 18' boat maybe. You will find out when you get going about 60mph.
The pictures are in modifications section I believe. My computer with the pictures is in getting fixed.

Agreed. The fact it's hanging 2' (23" by your own measurement) off the back tells me that the trailer is designed for an 18 footer at best. Just because you can physically get a 20 footer on it does not mean it's a trailer designed for a 20 foot boat. Whoever told you that they had a 21 footer on it was either lying to you, or was just plain ignorant of what size trailer they should have had.

I recently swapped that trailer for a biggere one. The dealer was very good about it, he gave me a much better trailer at no cost. I still had to do a little roller moving and sliding the bow roller around. It is a Venture with 20 rollers has a 3 X 5 tube. It still hangs off back 12-14". I can't bring the bow roller bracket forward anymore because the keel is too close to the frame of trailer. You think it will be ok like this?

nope.... still not supporting the transom.... I would shoot for 1-3" of overhang .... look into height adjustment.. if you can raise the bow and or lower the stern you can move her forward... You could even put a keep roller on the back of that front cross member the tongue hooks to.

actually looking again, likely all you need is the keel roller... I had a very similar trailer and I put a self centering keel roller there... LOVED it..... ALSO you could install a longer tongue if needed.... I did that too. I just bought the correct tubing and cut to length n drilled the holes to bolt it up
